Monday 11:58 · @atul01 on a Mac Pro/bootcamp? [Original, responding to @atul01.]
Monday 12:14 · @BWJones 5870 is clearly the safest choice, but hard to find these days :( Not 100% clear the replacement 6xxx will work. [Original, responding to @BWJones.]
Monday 15:46 · Apparently there is nowhere in Vancouver where I can walk in and walk out the door with a Radeon 5770 or 5870. [Original.]
Monday 18:00 · @awg_ilyas Hmm… Mac Pro compatibility story a little shaky with 6xxx series. [Original, responding to @awg_ilyas.]
Wednesday 00:25 · 38north.org/ seems like a good site for coverage of #nkorea [Original.]
Wednesday 12:15 · In which I take a run at the static-vs-dynamic type system issue: www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2011/12/27/Type-Systems This is guaranteed to irritate many. [Original.]
Wednesday 12:23 · Some guy just added me on some social network whose title is “Solutions Architect”. Feaugh. [Original.]

Friday 16:13 · Sshhh... Galaxy Nexus connected via Apple Store WiFi. Don't tell anyone. [Original.]
